Hi there,
I work with what I call ' the workable indifference ', I ' help ' but don 't
care
if they waste their ( my) money on weapons. The second time around I don 't
even bother to answer the door !
This also stands for what is considered as solidarity.
We can be solidair with everybody, but I don 't let it take me,... when a
disaster has occured the people unvolved got my sympathy, but I don 't
let it run free in my head....
After 9 / 11 the US people got my sympathy, but I don 't allow that the
facts
run my life... America right now would be an impossible place for me to live
in...
Regards,
Kenneth
